It’s really not a scandal to split up with your wife. Or to have sex.

That Pecker and his ilk seem to think it is, is the reason they misjudged this situation so fatally.

I mean, AMI does publish basically all the gossip-filled tabloids and magazines, so to them, it is the hot new scandal of the year.

To what bigot is "after a long period of loving exploration and trial separation, we have decided to divorce and continue our shared lives as friends" a scandal?

Well, to nobody when it's written that way.

But if it was "HOT NEW SCANDAL! You'll NEVER believe who's getting a divorce!!!! Cha-ching!" then I'm sure a lot more people would call it a scandal and be inclined to read about it. Clickbait-y titles have been a thing for a long time, and AMI's (as well as basically all other gossipy) magazines use them practically every issue to try and get you to buy it.
